Police
arrested a woman and she was later released on bail, pending further
investigations following a stabbing in Burnham-On-Sea's High Street
on Tuesday, which left a man with 'serious' injuries.

Police
sealed off an area of the High Street next to Lloyds Bank at 7.20pm,

incident.

He
ran along nearby Princess Street to the Esso petrol station where
staff contacted police.

The
petrol station was also sealed off by police as officers began
their investigation. Forensics officers were seen gathering evidence
in the High Street.

Police
spokesman Scott McPherson told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Police
were called by an ambulance crew at 7.20pm to reports of a 20
year-old male having been stabbed in the arm in the High Street."

"He
was taken to hospital with injuries that are serious, but not
life-threatening. We cordoned off the scene and an investigation
is underway. We would appeal for witnesses to the incident to
call us on 101."

An
eyewitness near the petrol station confirmed: "A man was
stabbed in the arm - he came running into the shop at the petrol
station to get help. There was blood everywhere."

Five
police cars, an ambulance and a rapid response first aid car were
called to the incident. Burham High Street re-opened almost two
hours later at 9.15pm.

The
petrol station was also closed as police started their investigation
